In great news for local customers, South Dallas Turf & Supply recently expanded to the Birmingham area. The company first acquired Coshatt Sod & Supply in Hoover, then moved the facility to Irondale in April.
“The new location is much easier to access and much more convenient for our customers, and it allows us to give them even more personal service, Tres said. “We’re able to offer many more products, since we have a bigger location.”
The Irondale facility also allows South Dallas Turf & Supply to be “more centrally located to the new construction in the Birmingham area,” he said.
The company’s portfolio showcases five inspected, registered and certified grass varieties – Emerald Zoysia, Meyer Zoysia, Zeon Zoysia, Tifway 419 Bermuda and TifTuf, All of the sod varieties sold by South Dallas Turf & Supply are free of weeds, insects and disease, and the quality is guaranteed.
“We only produce high-quality, certified varieties,” Tres said.
And the company cultivates its own turf grass at its three well-established farms in Alabama to provide customers with the freshest product possible.
Emerald Zoysia is an ideal lawn grass for showpiece properties, where outstanding appearance and durability are essential. A fine-textured, dense, dark green turf grass, Emerald Zoysia is known as the “Cadillac” of turf and is great for homes, businesses, golf courses and athletic fields. It is an excellent choice for low-maintenance lawns where aesthetics are paramount.
A cold-tolerant grass perfect for Southern winters, Meyer Zoysia spreads to create a dense, beautiful lawn with good traffic control. It’s good for homes, businesses and golf courses. Native to Japan, it features a dark green color with a slightly wider blade than other zoysia species.
Zeon Zoysia is a luxurious grass designed for elite landscapers, commercial installations and golf courses. It’s remarkable shade tolerance and soft texture make it an ideal fine-bladed zoysia grass. The extensive root system produces a thick, compact turf in various soil types. Zeon restricts weed growth and is easy to maintain.
Tifway 419 Bermuda is a dense, durable Bermuda grass with excellent traffic tolerance and quick recovery. It’s a great choice for residential and commercial uses, as well as sports fields and golf courses.
TifTuf Bermuda is the gold standard for drought-tolerant turfgrass. Its delicate texture and density make it ideal for athletic fields, golf courses and commercial landscapes where durability and wear tolerance are crucial considerations. TifTuf offers early spring green-up, excellent fall color retention and rapid grow-in.
